Tides and tidal currents in the Pearl River Estuary
Continental Shelf Research, 2004Several cruises were conducted to investigate the variability in tidal levels, tidal flows, and water circulation in the Pearl River estuary during the dry and wet seasons in 1998. Unlike other temperate estuaries, the average tidal range was small in the offshore waters and increased gradually towards the estuary, reaching the maximum in the upstream ...

Like many urban rivers, the Pearl River in China is contaminated with microplastics. Compared with marine environments, microplastic pollution in freshwater is less understood, especially in urban rivers. In the present study, the abundance and distribution of microplastics in water from the Pearl River was investigated, including the estuary and the ...

Persistent organic pollution characterization of sediments in Pearl River estuary
Chemosphere, 2006As a byproduct of rapid urbanization and industrial development in the Pearl River estuary of South China, excessive release of various types of persistent toxic substances were conveyed from agricultural, industrial and municipal discharges at upstream section down into the estuary largely via various river outlets. In this paper, a persistent organic

Spatial distribution of the summer chlorophyll a and nutrients in the Pearl River Estuary
Marine Pollution BulletinEstuaries, critical land-sea interfaces, mediate terrestrial inputs and sustain coastal ecosystems, with high ecological and economic significance. The Pearl River Estuary (PRE), the largest estuary in southern China and a core of the high-density Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, connects the Pearl River to the South China Sea, experiencing ...

Three-dimensional pollutant transport model for the Pearl River Estuary
Water Research, 2002In this paper, the development and implementation of a three-dimensional, numerical pollutant transport model, which is based on an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system in the horizontal direction and a sigma coordinate system in the vertical direction, is delineated.

Distribution and Fate of Organochlorine Pollutants in the Pearl River Estuary
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 1999Samples of surface sediment and suspended particulate matter (SPM) were collected from the Pearl River estuary, China, and the distribution and concentration of hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), DDTs and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were extensively studied. The concentration ranges of HCHs, DDTs and PCBs in the sediments were 0.28ā1.23 ng gā1, 1.36ā8.
